About Tracey

Hi! I’m Tracey Gillies, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator who truly believes that everyone can be crafty—you just need a starting point and someone cheering you on.

I combine my passion for teaching with my love of cardmaking, helping crafters of all experience levels discover the joy of creating something beautiful with their own hands. Whether you’re brand new to stamping or already a seasoned maker, my goal is to make creativity feel accessible, encouraging, and fun.

I especially love designing cards using pretty paper and lots of texture. I enjoy showing how simple elements can come together to create something truly special—because it doesn’t have to be complicated to be stunning.

I’m also proud to lead the Pretty Paper People, an amazing group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the country. Crafting together, supporting one another, and building friendships along the way has been one of the greatest joys of my journey—I truly consider them close friends.

When I’m not creating, I’m at home in sunny San Antonio, Florida with my husband, Alex. We’ve been married for over 20 years, and I’m so grateful for his unwavering support of my business. You might even spot him in one of my videos—and if you’ve ever ordered one of my kits, there’s a very good chance he helped with the die cuts inside!
